YESSS exhibition opens at Haus der Wissenschaft in Bremen
During the opening ceremony, we were joined by Prof. Dr. Rudolf Amann, Managing Director of the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology, who commemorated the project’s achievements alongside our project leader Dr. Clara Hoppe and one of our PhD students Milan Beck, together with our team and our guests.
The exhibition takes its visitors from the historical center of Bremen directly to the fjords of Svalbard. Our PhD students explain how they carried out their experiments in the Artic, what results they are analyzing at the moment, and how it helps us understand the rapidly changing climate in the Polar region. The scientific perspective is elaborated by our team’s personal lived experience. Visitors are brought up close to the realities of Arctic research: you can see the clothes scientists have to wear during trips outside, and even immerse yourself in the total darkness of the Polar night, with only multicolored Polar lights illuminating the world around you.
Klima Hotspot Arktis is exhibited at the Haus der Wissenschaft until February 20th. Take a small journey to Svalbard yourself!
